Dead Zone Formation and Nonsteady Hyperaccretion in Collapsar Disks : A Possible Origin of Short-Term Variability in the Prompt Emission of Gamma-Ray Bursts
Youhei Masada, Norita Kawanaka, Takayoshi Sano +1
The central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is believed to be a hot and dense disk with hyperaccretion onto a few solar-mass black hole. We investigate where the magnetorotationa…

The Effect of Neutrino Radiation on Magnetorotational Instability in Proto-Neutron Stars
Youhei Masada, Takayoshi Sano, Kazunari Shibata
Neutrino radiation takes a major role in the momentum, heat, and lepton transports in proto-neutron stars (PNSs). These diffusive processes affect the growth of magnetorotational i…
